During injection molding, longer fibers align and
intertwine to form an internal skeletal network,
enabling a unique set of performance characteristics,
including:
• High strength-to-weight ratio which
facilitates metal replacement to achieve
weight reduction
• Added stiffness and strength to carry loads
while resisting creep deformation
• Increased toughness to absorb impact
forces without permanent damage
• High cyclical fatigue endurance to resist
cracking and crack propagation
• Mechanical performance that is retained
across a wide temperature range
• Improved dimensional stability with nearly
isotropic properties and low thermal
expansion
• Corrosion and chemical resistance
Long fiber composites provide a combination of stiffness, strength, and toughness performance
enhancements not available together when using other reinforcing methods, while retaining the single-
step processing simplicity of injection molding.
Complēt™ PKE
Long glass fiber reinforced polyketone solutions that
deliver excellent chemical resistance, low moisture
uptake, and a reduced carbon footprint.

For
example, the vulcanization, or curing, step requires chemicals such as
sulfur and zinc as cross-linking agents.
They may enable you to bolster
your sustainability profile by removing potentially harmful chemicals
from your process.

Resin impregnated fibers are
chemically cured with thermal or ultraviolet energy to form a highly
crosslinked thermoset matrix.

• Recycled plastics demand is expected to
grow at a 12% CAGR through 2030
• Demand is constrained by availability of
recycled content and will need investments
in both mechanical and chemical processes
• As recycled content becomes more
available, it is expected to make up 30% of

materials as a cost-effective way to reduce fuel consumption
• Reducing Energy Consumption and Dependence on Fossil Fuels -
Negative public perceptions of fossil fuels are challenging companies to utilize
alternative energy sources and also to reduce overall demand (consumption)
• Reducing Carbon Footprint - Companies are seeking assistance from their
suppliers to address the ever-increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint
• Lessening Environmental Impact - Manufacturers are looking to reduce
dependence on processes with high environmental impact such as the release of
